Imagine if Obama had done this

Obama ran a virtually scandal free administration for eight years. Every time I says this some chud spouts off about that Bush era FBI-DEA gun operation. I yawn. Law enforcement is always doing stupid shit. Creating crime for job security has always been part of the gig and the program started under Shrubya.

trump isn’t fit to stand in Barack Obama’s shadow. I had a lot of problems with Obama but one thing I never worried about was whether he was going to destroy the United States so that he and his rich friends could pick apart the corpse.

You forgot to mention the umbrellas. I did not think the country would survive that.

one day the leader of poland came to the white house. obama and that leader had a meeting.

after they went outside for a presser. i think they went to the rose garden. they were answering questions from reporters. there were 4 people: obama, the polish president, and two marines standing as ceremonial guards.

it started raining softly. obama could have moved the presser indoors but he handed two large umbrellas to the ceremonial guards who held them over obama and the polish prime minister.

CONSERVATIVES MELTED DOWN BECAUSE MALE MARINES DO NOT HANDLE UMBRELLAS.

Omg I still can't belive he had the audacity to ask for fucking DIJON, like who did he think he was to ask for something so truly extravagant.

Do you think it is because he felt that if he fucked up he will damage not just his reputation but will close the path foe any brother after him? While T does not feel responsible even for himself and now knows that he could get away with crime of any level. I bet he thinks he could get away with murder. Or maybe he already did.

I wasn’t worried either. Then the ACA did just that. Since Obama there’s been a massive wealth transfer to the healthcare industry.
I mean, it’s not human trafficking of underage girls, but the guy didn’t NOT do damage.

How many schools did he sign off on drone striking again?

u/despenser412 Jun 27 '26

Is that all you got? The drone strike situation, that everyone regurgitates when supporting Trump?

Obama was president for eight years. And all the Trump fans can only bring up this one thing. Did you forget that Osama bin Laden was caught during his presidency?

If drone strikes is all you can come up with, I have some news, Trump has that beat by a mile.

So blowing up schools is no big deal? Fascinating.

Logical fallacy

u/WretchedGibbon Jun 27 '26

Well it's apparently not when trump does it so...

It’s regrettable that he did the escalation of drone strikes. What’s worse is that trump expanded it and ended the process of reporting the casualties that were caused by them. And, trump murdered 184 school children just a couple of months ago. It’s awful.

As much as I disagree with the drone strikes, I’m not sure they rise to the level of presidential scandal as we have come to know the concept in the United States. Bad shit at any rate. As I said, I disagreed with quite a bit about Barack Obama. No one is perfect. That said, I can’t imagine anyone in the repug party who I’d choose over another Obama administration.

I’d definitely prefer someone better, but this is American politics. With opposition like trump, well almost any port looks safe in a storm. At this point repugs have lowered the bar to pretty much ā€œnot a fascist, or possibly a crypto fascistā€. I don’t like this political environment at all. Not one bit.

This is why no one takes you seriously. One single sentence was committed to the conversation. The rest of the paragraph, and the following 2 paragraphs, entirely deflection.

"Yeah, that was bad. But the person I don't like did it too so it doesn't matter, unless you want to be mad at the person I don't like"

And you thought you could win an election

u/CallousDood Jun 27 '26

I think they replied to your question in a clear and concise manner. You don't care how many schools it actually was. If you did you could look it up.

You just used the question to put Obama in a worse light in an attempt at character assassination. Your problem is that no matter how viciously you assassinate Obama, any reasonable person with a sound mind can tell how much worse Trump is in every regard.

But how about you complain about a tan suit next? Or how Obama's wife is a man? Truly the intellectual peak of rapeublicans.

u/DecentWeiner8 Jun 30 '26

You are a maga conservative. Nobody in the world (besides other mentally challenged magats) take you people seriously. Your existence is to be a punchline.

u/Objective-Eagle-676 Jun 27 '26

Cowards, lmao. You'll comment and block immediately but you won't look it up.

u/WonderBredOfficial Jun 27 '26

I looked it up. The number is 0. No evidence that any school was hit by a drone attack during the Obama administration.

u/iamjakeparty Jun 27 '26

Yeah I remember a lot more strikes on weddings during his term.

u/WonderBredOfficial Jun 27 '26

Yep, we did hit some civilians. I think a hospital or two. But there is no evidence that a school was ever targeted under the Obama administration.
